Customer Reviews

Excellent for science lovers

I bought this for my almost 4 year old for Christmas and he loves it. We have read it 3 times a day everyday since Christmas. We went to Volcano National park, Hawaii a few weeks ago and he just fell in love with volcanoes. Definately a must have for your little science lover.

Visually Stunning Photos!

This book not only provides beautiful photographs, but good comprehensive information too. The material is accessible and thorough and is enhanced by the stunning photography. If you're looking for basic information, this is a great resource.

Superb

Another superb title from the let's read and find out series. My 5 yr. greatly enjoys it, and is learning a great deal from it.

Love this series, and Branley's are among the best!

This book is a perfect introduction to volcanoes for K-2 level kids, and older kids or early readers may enjoy reading them alone. It is easy to understand and the illustrations are clear and nice-looking. Unlike some science books for kids, this series tends to be very readable, versus a drier text that may make some kids lose interest quickly.

Volcanoes

The book was very good. My son just started second grade and he loves science. The book kept him very interested throughout. He has read it more than 5 times and continues to ask questions about the different new concepts that were introduced in the book. Very good purchase!
